We are pleased to invite you to participate in the second round of the co-creation workshop “Gender and race bias in recruitment and HR management: co-creating fair and trustworthy AI systems”, hosted by the Bern University of Applied Sciences.
In the workshop, you will have the chance to join a multi stakeholder group composed of workers representatives and civil society organizations advocating for equality and inclusion, HR professionals, and AI experts, and to contribute to address and contrast gender and race bias in recruitment. This is an interactive co-creation workshop to discuss on fairness in recruitment process and identify desirable requirements and functionalities of a Debiaser tool (the BIAS proof-of-concept technology with modules that both identify and mitigate bias and unfairness in decision making) and a Case-based Reasoning system and related risks.
